From the remaining five SNPs, the locus AX-104837465 (ECA1: 170,926,834), located within NUBPL, exhibited a nearly perfect association across breeds (46 heterozygous and 4 homozygous Lipizzans for the associated allele; 2 Noriker heterozygous for the associated allele), and SNP AX-104594172 (ECA17: 21,505,125), located within PHF11, showed a good, plausible, genotype distribution which included 33 Lipizzans, 6 Noriker, 9 Selle Francais, 4 Shagya-Arabians and 1 French Trotter, heterozygous for the vitiligo-like phenotype associated allele. Here, PHF11 is linked to vitiligo.
